Does automake have a policy on when to stop supporting a CPU, operating
system, or compiler?

I am pondering the size of the matrix of supported operating systems, cpus,
and compilers, and wonder where a policy like
"Automake drops support 20 years after the release of a CPU, operating
system, or compiler version" would fall on the heresy/utility plane.
